In need of some... informationPosted by shauna in Life in Palau   |

Ok everyone. We've been shopping here in Palau for the last month and there are just few items we need help identifying. And if you can identify them, perhaps you can share a Vegan recipe for said item. I've numbered them to make it easier for you.. Just add a comment here with what each one is and the best way to prepare it (vegan-style).

Ok, well, let us know what these are if you can - we look forward to hearing from you all!

1. taro. i have no idea how to prepare it. i always just got the stuff that was already cooked. i guess you can boil it? i dunno.
2. that's the weird bitter melon. do. not. eat.
3. not sure, but i THINK that might be a breadfruit. if so, i think you simply have to figure out how to get it out of that weird spiky shell. no cooking required. i've seen it on the ppr b fast buffet, it's decent.
4. kangkum, my absolute favorite. FAVORITE. it's kind of like spinach, and you can pretty much do anything with it you'd do with spinach (like salad, for instance). one of the best things to do with it is saute with some garlic and soy sauce (maybe a little bit of sesame oil). don't discard the stalks. they are my favorite part.
5. okra. stir fry. preferably with other veggies.
6. ????
7. some kind of fruit but i can't remember. i'd suggest just slicing one open and winging it. or, do as i always did. approach a palauan at the grocery with unidentified produce, look really helpless, and ask "what is this? how do you eat it?"
8. i think this is some kind of radish. maybe daikon? i never ate it.
